Mechanical engineering can include a broad range of professional services, from building services through to machinery, manufacturing and industrial systems.
Professional Indemnity insurers may consider:
- the types of systems or equipment being designed
- industrial, commercial or infrastructure exposure
- machinery and plant design
- HVAC and building services
- pressure vessels or specialist equipment
- project values
- inspection and certification responsibilities
- the use of subcontracted specialists
The potential risk can vary significantly depending on the end use of the design and the consequences of an error.
For example, mechanical design for a commercial air-conditioning system may be assessed differently from work involving critical industrial equipment or complex process machinery.
Insurers will generally want an accurate description of the firm’s services and the types of projects it undertakes.
